Plays out like an ambivalent political tract, full of dissatisfaction but no conclusions.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Captures the frustration of those who sense something deeply dysfunctional in the political and economic status quo but feel impotent do anything about it.

The situations feel real, the injustices believable and the human frailty is all too recognizable.
Tom Long, Detroit News
